Sin­ce 1997, Chris­tia­ne Den­zel, a trai­ned gar­de­ner and land­scape gar­de­ner, has been the owner of the Bio­land nur­sery and natu­ral food Brei­te Wies‘, 20 km abo­ve Lake Con­s­tance in Emmin­gen-Lip­tin­gen. Through her vege­ta­ble nur­sery, the topic of „pol­li­na­ting insects“ is clo­se to her heart and she has been offe­ring lec­tures and work­shops on this sub­ject for many years, as well as pro­vi­ding advice on bio­di­ver­si­ty. As a trai­ned natur­opath, her­ba­list and farm edu­ca­tor, she inspi­res adults as well as child­ren and young peo­p­le and also imparts know­ledge vivid­ly through num­e­rous books. She is also the 1st chair­wo­man of the „Bau­ern­gar­ten und Wild­kräu­ter­land Baden“ asso­cia­ti­on. She spends two days a week in schools giving les­sons on bio­di­ver­si­ty. She draws on over 20 years of expe­ri­ence with school clas­ses and kin­der­gar­ten groups as well as sea­so­nal cour­ses in her nur­sery, mea­dows and forests. In 2024, she began trai­ning bio­di­ver­si­ty edu­ca­tors at two „sta­te uni­ver­si­ties“ in Baden-Würt­tem­berg, with the next cour­se start­ing on 09.04.25 (see Fly­er annu­al cour­se and Fly­er bio­di­ver­si­ty edu­ca­ti­on semi­nar).
